Y is for Yellow Fields of Canola: ABC Wednesday
Alberta is one of Canada's Prairie Provinces and shown here is a canola crop growing as far as the eye can see. This is a wondrous
sight under the big, blue, prairie skies and during a road trip to Alberta in 1993 I took many photos. These two photos have been scanned from 35mm prints.
My appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place for hosting ABC Wednesday. To view more ABC Wednesday posts please click on the link.

Such beautiful golden fields!
The canola wasn't yellow when we came through. I hated the fact that I missed it. It's beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
I say Yes to Y.
Come visit our "Y's",

Yellow and blue - always a great combination.
Beautiful fields and great choice for Y. But what is canola?

Canola is also known as rapeseed. The seeds from this plant yield an oil that after processing is used in cooking oils, or as an ingredient in margarine.
The top picture is a neat shot. Good Y post.
Great post and very typical of the prairies....you can see as far as the horizon with nary a hill in sight.
Fantastic fields... I just love driving past these fields in our area as well... what an amazing sight to see!!

Golden yellow, so beautiful
Oh my, that's a lot of canola. Just used canola oil tonight to fry up some fries...
Beautiful yellow fields..
The fields are gorgeous.
Yellow canola fields do make a very interesting subject for ABC Wednesday.
Thank You.

Similar to our rape seed fields. I love the sight, always want to sing "fields of gold" by Sting.
Fabulous pictures...I am a real sucker for distant horizons & BIG blue skies, & you've nailed it.
This is the best kind of nature picture i can image. Trying to catch the color in some of my paintings and that is difficult
Must get a new canvas on the easel today
So that is Canola.
Good yellow choice as well as being a good shot.
Everything taken by me before October '05 has been scanned - not that I have done all of them. Around two thousand pictures at least.

Actually I have painted a landscape from the second photo posted here. This scene just begged for paint and canvas!
We have canola fields in Australia too; your photos are great.
What lovely photographs.
Utterly breathtaking!
And your earlier lilies are like heaven on earth.
Nice work!
I have never seen a canola field before. Actually, I'm not sure that I even knew what canola was. Great pictures.
Gorgeous colour !Wonderful landscape with "the blue blue sky"!

I love to see the contrast of yellow against the blue sky.
Beautiful landscape there. Pretty country.
nice y
beautiful fields, thanks for sharing.
I've been by before, but apparently not as often as I should. Lovely fields and another trip to a place I have never been.
Glorious gold!
Two stunning fields of sky and gold. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful shots. Love how these gold just stretches forever. I use canola oil but you know, I haven't got a clue what a canola is. :-D LOL! I feel a Google search coming on.
What beautiful views!
